"The horse as muse for the arts is ancient"
The Horse, familiar in form, nature and spirit offers powerful inspiration for my ceramic and mixed media sculptures.
Civilizations before me have explored object making and painting in the attempt to convey this animals’ spirit and to pay reverence to its beauty and its meaning in their culture. I stand on their shoulders and incorporate my own personal history and the horse heritage of the West in making these works.
With a nod toward ancient artifacts of countless civilizations, my sculptures intentionally appear as relics, treasures to honor the profound age-old human relationship with these magnificent creatures.
